"As you can see I've currently got the slider clip as a child of the scrollBar clip - should I bring it out to the same level?"
On that matter, I would say, look carefully at your line of code that follows: (scrollBar._height - scrollBar.slider._y) If the slider is scrolled higher than _y = 0 or that the slider goes lower than scrollBar._height your slider will influence the scrollBar._height value. This can be quite dangerous for weird acting script, but if your sure your slider won't ever influence it's containers height, your Ok. What I might suggest you would be to use the scrollBar.scrollTrack._height that might be existent or not in your scrollBar movieclip. Now for your script, I don't usually go that way of doing it so here is how I'd probably do it myself: var scrollRatio = scrollBar.slider._y / scrollBar.scrollTrack._height; currentChild._y = - scrollRatio * currentChild._height; I'm not 100% sure but I think this should work. Notice the negative value for the currentChild._y.

I'm trying to figure out how to scroll an MC up and down based on the position of a scrollbar. What am I doing wrong with this code? I'm finding the ratio between how tall the content is (currentChild) and how tall the scrollbar is: scrollRatio = currentChild._height/scrollBar._height; Then changing the position of the content depending on where the scrollBar.slider is: currentChild._y = (scrollBar._height - scrollBar.slider._y)*scrollRatio; The result of this is the content is not visible until the scrollbar slider is most of the way down it's length, and then the content doesn't scroll far enough. As you can see I've currently got the slider clip as a child of the scrollBar clip - should I bring it out to the same level? Anyone got any ideas? _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
